"Maybe it's because I've been too tired recently and I'm not acclimatized to the climate — I'll get better naturally after this period."
Nie Liang rubbed the tip of his sore and cold nose and resisted the urge to sneeze. His eyes were bloodshot.
Wei Yong asked hesitantly, "Did you really drink the medicine prescribed by the doctor?"
Nie Liang's hand paused. Thinking of the black medicine, he could not help but feel bitterness in his mouth and stomach acid.
Although he quickly restrained his emotions, it did not escape Wei Yong's observation.
Thinking of his best friend's temper, Wei Yong's lowered eyebrows could not help but twitch twice.
Nie Liang was an adult in his thirties, not just three years old. Not only was he afraid of bitterness, he even did the stupid thing of secretly pouring away the medicine.
"I'll go down now and ask someone to make another bowl. Guangshan, drink it before you rest."
Wei Yong was more or less like a mother, especially Wei Yong, who was afraid of bitterness and poured away the medicine, causing his illness to be prolonged.
No matter how minor an illness was, once it was dragged on for a long time, it would still become a serious illness.
Nie Liang smiled helplessly. "I'd better not drink this medicine. There's no effect after drinking it for so long. I'm suffering for nothing."
Wei Yong stopped in his tracks and said with a serious expression, "If that's the case, I'll ask the doctor to come over and take a look at you again. If it doesn't work, we'll change the prescription?"
Either drink the medicine or ask the doctor to come over and prescribe a more indescribable prescription. Nie Liang decisively chose the former.
At the same time, Wei Ci stepped on the moonlight and returned to his residence.
It was dark in the room. He took out a match from his sleeve and lit the oil lamp in the dark.
"Hmm?"
With the help of the orange candlelight, Wei Ci vaguely saw a strange black shadow protruding from the bed, as if there was a person lying on it.
"Who's there?"
The candlelight crackled. Wei Ci shouted at the bed. The black shadow with its back facing him finally turned around.
"Oh? Zixiao is only back now? " Jiang Pengji hugged something in her arms and muttered as she got up. "If you didn't come back, this thing of yours would have been caught and cooked. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If it wasn't for the servants who brought it back, it might have been gone. "
Wei Ci knew who it was the moment he heard the voice. He felt relieved and continued to light other candles. The dark room gradually became brighter.
Because Jiang Pengji got up, the black and white meatball, which had finally fallen asleep, groaned in dissatisfaction and opened its big watery eyes.
Smelling a familiar scent, it stretched out its two meaty claws in Wei Ci's direction, as if asking for a hug and a kiss.
"Tsk, this thing has become a spirit? You even dare to rob my people — "
Jiang Pengji mercilessly poked the black and white meatball's forehead, causing it to roll on the ground.
"My Lord, are you still jealous of animals?"
Wei Ci was amused. He raised his hand and scooped up the little fellow.
Although he was the one who raised it, it was usually taken care of by the servants or logisticians. The food it ate every day was even more sumptuous than the lord.
He was a treasure in the army!
"It's fun to eat it once in a while. How is your family in Zhongzhao doing? "
Jiang Pengji yawned. Her cheeks were flushed due to her deep sleep, which made her look more feminine and naive.
Wei Ci's heart warmed. He smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern, my lord. I heard that Eldest Brother is working for the Nie family. They must be doing well."
Nie Liang was a direct descendant of the Nie family. Now, the Nie family valued him greatly. As his right-hand man, Wei Ci's status was naturally not low.
Relying on this relationship, the relatives who sought refuge with the Wei family in Bianzhou would not be living too badly.
"My lord has waited here for so long. Is it just to ask this?"
Because of his previous life's mistakes, Wei Ci did not want to be too deeply involved with the Wei family. He only wanted to maintain a superficial friendship.
In front of Jiang Pengji, he did not want to mention the Wei family.
Jiang Pengji shook her head.
"Of course it's not just one thing. I have another surprise! I have no one to share it with, so after thinking about it, I still came to find Zixiao. "
Wei Ci pondered in his heart and carefully recalled what had happened recently.
After thinking about it, there was only one thing that could make his lord so happy —
"Is there news from Jing Rong's side?"
Jiang Pengji smiled and nodded. "Zixiao's thoughts are exquisite. Nothing can escape your control. Jing Rong led his troops to Chenzhou. He also treacherously plotted against Xu Bei's forces to confuse Bogao's spies in Chenzhou. Now that he has succeeded, shouldn't he be eager to claim credit? "
These days, she had endured and pretended that nothing had happened. Wasn't it all for this good news?
Fortunately, Yang Si did not let her down. He successfully completed this plan of crossing the sea by deceiving everyone and crossing the sea in secret.
Otherwise — —
Hehe, Yang Si could not blame her.
Yang Si, who was thinking of a way to cross the River Song, sneezed. His cold snot dripped down. He hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover his nose.
"It's the middle of the night. Who's talking?"
Yang Si pinched his nose and suddenly felt the air freshen up.
The tanned and burly Dian Yan carefully brought in a bowl of pitch-black medicinal concoction. "Military counselor, I'm coming in."
"Hmm …"
Yang Si hid the handkerchief and sniffed, suppressing the moisture that surged from the corners of his eyes.
There was no need to mention how terrible it was to catch a cold at this time.
His body was uncomfortable and his mood was not bright.
Dian Yan stepped into the tent. His burly body made the tent feel cramped and cramped. He carefully brought the medicinal concoction to Yang Si's table.
"Military counselor, I've also found some candied plums for you. Each one has a thick coating of honey. They're absolutely sweet."
Yang Si carefully took a sip. The unpleasant medicinal concoction spread in his mouth. His entire face scrunched up.
"Candied plums, candied plums …"
Yang Si randomly grabbed a handful and threw two into his mouth. It took him a while to suppress the bitterness. His tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
"Is there any news from the secret agents?"
After drinking half a bowl of medicine, his dizzy head felt better. Yang Si's violent temper also became much milder.
Dian Yan said, "The secret agents from the frontlines have sent news that the Nie family's emissaries have entered the pass. I'm afraid they're up to no good."
Yang Si chewed on the candied plums and said vaguely, "Our lord has an unyielding temperament. No matter how bad the Nie family's intentions are, it'll be difficult to get anything out of her hands. Has the manpower been accounted for? We'll cross the Song River tomorrow. We must arrive at Meng County in Cangzhou before the Nie family makes trouble … "
Dian Yan hesitated and asked, "Military counselor, if we only bring two thousand elites into Cangzhou, once Huang Song makes trouble for us …"
"Our lord dares to bring five thousand elites into Cangzhou, but we're not like our lord. Bringing two thousand is already more than enough. If we didn't have to pressure the Nie family's emissaries, we wouldn't have brought these two thousand people. "Yang Si smiled." Even if Huang Song had three times the courage, he wouldn't dare to kill his acquaintances at this time. "
The relationship between Huang Song and the lord was no different from being interdependent.
The two could only form an alliance. If Huang Song dared to play tricks to assassinate the lord, the Nie family would definitely take the opportunity to kill him.
At that time, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Huang Song's own life would be in danger. What was he after?
"Moreover, if we transfer too many troops …"
Yang Si's eyes were cold. He pointed in the direction of Zhe County.
"I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the situation."
Chenzhou was empty of troops. If there weren't enough troops to hold the fort, who knew whether the evil Han Yu would take the opportunity to stab them?
Dian Yan was frightened. "This … this can't be, right?"
In order to help the lord stabilize the rear, Yang Si and Dian Yan formed an alliance with Xu Bei from Zhe County as representatives. The two forces had frequent contact.
Because of the loser's yearning for the top student, Dian Yan respected Han Yu.
Yang Si sneered. "Why not? The alliance is not a long-term plan. It's just a paper agreement that can be torn apart at any time. "
